Mapping Vegetation Density in a Heterogeneous River Floodplain Ecosystem Using Pointable CHRIS/PROBA Data
River floodplains in the Netherlands serve as water storage areas, while they also have the function of nature rehabilitation areas. Floodplain vegetation is therefore subject to natural processes of vegetation succession. At the same time, vegetation encroachment obstructs the water flow into the floodplains and increases the flood risk for the hinterland. Spaceborne pointable imaging spectros...
متن کاملFloodplain Hazard Mapping in the Iranshahr River by Using Two-Dimensional Numerical Modelling and GIS
Today, the preparation of flood zoning maps is one of the basic and important issues in the study of development projects in the world; it is considered before any investment by the related organizations. In this paper, flood zoning was performed using the two-dimensional model HEC-RAS and GIS in order to assess the risk of the construction of a railway station near the bank of the Iranshahr Ri...
متن کاملQuantitative Mapping of Hydrodynamic Vegetation Density of Floodplain Forests Using Airborne Laser Scanning
The determination of hydrodynamic vegetation density of floodplain forests in the Netherlands is currently based on manually delineated vegetation types and a lookup table to convert these into vegetation density. In this paper a method is presented to extract vegetation density from high-density airborne laser scanner data. Field reference data were collected on 45 plots in three different flo...
متن کاملRegional Mapping of Plant Functional Types in River Floodplain Ecosystems Using Airborne Imaging Spectroscopy Data
Monitoring and forecasting of natural vegetation succession is essential for optimal management of river floodplain ecosystems in Western Europe. For example the development of woody vegetation types (e.g., softwood forest) increases the hydraulic resistance of the floodplain and can have negative effects on the discharge capacity of the river. However, from a biodiversity point-of-view this de...
متن کاملImproved Floodplain Delineation Method Using High-Density LiDAR Data
With the improvements in sensor technologies over the past decade, there has been a significant decrease in the cost of acquisition and increase in the density and accuracy of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Due to its advantages over traditional surveying techniques, LiDAR data are widely preferred for floodplain delineation. But, processing dense LiDAR data is time-consuming and mem...
